David Ratowitz for U.S. Congress
David Ratowitz recently won the Republican primary in Illinois’ 5th Congressional District. A former U.S. Army Ranger and 82nd Airborne Paratrooper (he deployed with the 82nd to Haiti after President Aristide was overthrown in 1995), Ratowitz is a crusader for small government and individual freedom. If elected, he will bring a wealth of small business, [...]
Fire Janet Napolitano – Hire My Dad!
Today’s post was written by my father, Dick Miller. Dick was raised a Republican, steered by good math grades and financial necessity to a career in engineering and high-tech software. He is now a born-again anthropologist/historian (it was always in him) and wants JFK (and Jackie) to return to the White House. – RHM
Maybe it’s [...]
Is Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism?
Officials in Thailand (after being tipped off by American intelligence officials) recently seized a Georgian-registered aircraft loaded with over 35 tons of North Korean weapons. Where the weapons were bound for is unclear. However, Iran, Sri Lanka, or the African Horn countries would all be good guesses. Counterterrorism Blog’s Douglas Farah reports:
The Thais stopped the [...]
Interview with a Suicide Bomber
Adil Najam of All Things Pakistan recently interviewed a Taliban-inspired suicide bomber. The content speaks for itself, however, there are a few points worth highlighting:
The aspiring terrorist claims the religious high ground, but can’t seem to recall any specific fatwas or the clerics who issued them.
He claims that “Nobody is innocent”, including other Muslims and [...]

NOTES:
Please read part I of Meet Colonel Timothy H. Donovan first.
The picture on the right was taken in Schweinfurt, Germany, when LTC Donovan was commanding the 3rd Battalion/64th Armor (1978). They were on full alert. At the end of the lanyard that disappears into his shirt is a Cold War era CEOI (Communications-Electronics Operating Instructions) [...]
Three Reasons to Vote for Scott Brown (R)

I recently had the pleasure of spending an evening with WBZ News Radio’s Dan Rea. Arriving early, so I could spend some time with Dan during his pre-show prep, I was pleasantly surprised to find State Senator (and U.S. Senate hopeful) Scott Brown (R) waiting outside of the production booth. I spent the better part [...]

3 Questions With S.W.A.T. Magazine TV’s Rob Pincus

The issue of self defense is particularly significant these days. And the recent events at Fort Hood, Texas, highlight the danger of the world we live in (see Political Correctness is Killing Americans). Thankfully, the U.S. has some of the most professional, well-equipped and highly trained first responders in the world. But they can’t be [...]
Political Correctness is Killing Americans

UPDATED 12/30/09: Instead of writing a post about the recent “crotch bomber” and how incompetent our government is at thwarting attacks by people who broadcast their intentions beforehand (regardless of the party in power), just go ahead and change the names and locations yourself. – RHM
Very rarely do people just snap. On the contrary, there [...]
Iranian Elections, Human Trafficking, and Setting Terrorists Free
Before I get into the “Fix” this week I’d like to address my recent exclusive interview with Governor Sarah Palin. The idea for the “interview” occurred to me while watching the Sunday morning political talk shows with my father (i.e. father/son bonding). In all honestly, I thought it would be instantly recognized as satire (which [...]
